The Contract It was here. It was finally here. He had waited months for this. He had prayed so hard. He had even fasted once or twice for this. He had told everyone who cared to hear that he would soon be at a new level; a level they would all wish to attain. He had boasted, his tone that of a man who knew he had his kill in his hand. But he had began to lose hope when he didn't hear a word in months. He had tried reaching out but had been told he would be reached as soon as possible. And the days had rolled into weeks and months; eight months to be precise. He remembers now the sneers he got from his friends. A particular one had been bold enough to say to his face, "New level, no level". He had withdrawn into his shell, ashamed of how he had put his confidence in them, unknowingly putting himself out there to be ridiculed. He had sworn never to trust in any man again. He had done so verbally; touching the tip of his tongue with his index finger and raising it...

It was a dark and stormy night. Rain splattered against the window of my room. A flash of lightning briefly illuminated the room, followed by a loud clap of thunder. Perfect. The weather was perfect for what I had in mind. My heart beat so wildly and loudly that I expected it to jump right out of my chest any minute. Hot beads of perspiration soaked my cotton nightie. I was apprehensive because I knew what I was about to do was wrong but my deep-rooted anger spurred me on. I listened to the even breathing of my twin sister, Cherish as she slept soundly beside me, and my hand tightened around the knife I was holding under my pillow. She had no idea she was breathing her last, as I was going to kill her tonight ... Coming Out Soon...

Dr Jefferey walked through the double doors of Haven Clinic, into the tastefully furnished reception area. He eyes quickly scanned the room, taking a mental note of how many patients were waiting to see him, and then he walked briskly past the receptionist's desk into the corridor that led to his office. When he got into his office, he went straight to the adjoining room where he did private exams, to make sure that everything was in order. Satisfied, he went back into his office, sat at his desk and quickly browsed through the patients' files which were waiting for him on the large desk. He reached for the intercom and rang it, to let the receptionist know that he was ready to attend to patients, and after a while he heard a knock at the door. "Come in" he bellowed and the door swung open to admit a lady and a gentleman behind her. Woman: Good evening, doctor Doc: Good evening, madam. Please, take a seat. Woman: (signalling to the man) Mike, greet the doctor. Mike: ...

. Osakpamwan pulled over to carry two passengers, a male and a female. "Thank God dis two passenger go make my moto full. Na to blow direct to Ring Road now" he thought to himself as there were three passengers in the car already, one at the passenger's seat in front and two at the back. The man entered first and then the woman got in next. She was big-boned so it was difficult for her to fit into the seat with the three other passengers as it was a small car,an Audi 80.   Others managed to create enough space for her to fit into which she eventually did, and she slammed the door shut with relief. Osakpamwan pulled into the road,whistling to himself as he headed towards King's Square. "Chei!" The man exclaimed. "Oga wetin happen?" Osakpamwan peered at him through the rear view mirror "Dis place too tight o,make this woman dress small na" he complained. "Na where you con want make I dress go? Which space you p...
